Referring to what happened on June 4th 1989 in Tiananmen Square, Beijing:
“如果是屠城，4000名學生全都死光了﹗” “要燒一條尸至少要1000℃(熱力)﹐如果可以就咁在天安門燒﹐那焚化爐便不用排長龍了……指著一攤野就說是(學生)被坦克車輾過，那不如找一隻豬﹐用坦克車輾過﹐看看是否會變成肉餅？”
I did not make this up. It was the actual words of the leader of the largest pro-Communist party in Hong Kong. Was it a slip of the tongue, careless words uttered in the heat of the moment? Or was it true feelings that somehow found its way to the open?
I declare my bias: I attended my first June 4th-related protest/march/vigil before it happened, in May 1989 in Ottawa. I have been attending June 4th candle light vigils in Hong Kong almost every year and most likely will be there this year.
It is a dark moment for humanity when truth is sacrificed and noble spirits rediculed for political expediency.

After the initial anger at Ma Lik's comments, I felt sadness, and then the assurance that truth shall prevail, because God is truth.
These have been said for 2000 years, and are still true today:
1) some are willing to exchange truth for a lie;
2) what comes out from a person defiles him;
3) we shall be judged by every word we utter.
So there's nothing new under the sun. The Bible said it all.
For some people there is no such thing as absolute truth, right and wrong. Things either serve their purposes or not. They may be successful for a while. But I am sure there will ne a day of reckoning, and I shudder to think what will happen to those on the day.
